Recruitment Process

Before any member of staff is interviewed they are asked a series of questions to ascertain whether they meet the requirements to potentially fulfil the role of a
homecarer within Nu Staff's employment.

Two written references are required, one of whom should normally be the immediate past employer and are followed up by a telephone call prior to confirmation of
employment. Any gaps in employment will be explored. All referees must be professional and capable of giving you a caring reference to ascertain your caring capabilities.

All care workers agree to a police check and DBS first being carried out with the Criminal Records Bureau. The care worker will be required to provide the necessary
information with this application. We do not charge you for the Police Check!

We will also expect a good level of spoken and written English.

If candidates meet the above requirements then they are either sent or given an application and health questionnaire to fill out at home and booked in for a face to
face interview. The interview would normally take around one hour in a secure and private area.

We would require the following:

﻿Verification of identity (ie Passport)

Work permit (ifrequired)

Driving License and Insurance Certificate

A valid National Insurance Number

Any relevant certificates in relation to the caring profession

Should references and DBS FIRST be returned satisfactorily and induction completed carers will work with our trainer in the community to demonstrate competence before
being assigned their own rota.

You will have regular supervisions and have your standards of practice appraised annually, during this annual meeting any training and development needs will be
discussed this will be carried out by either your manager or a senior member of staff. Written records will be kept on the content and outcome of each meeting.

You will meet with either your line manager or senior member of staff formally on a one to one basis at least once every 3 months to discuss your work. At least
one of these meetings will incorporate direct observation of the care you are providing to a service user with whom you regularly work. Written records will be kept on the content and outcome
of each meeting.
